Is Urine Next New Alternative Energy? (Seriously!)

Posted: 03 Oct 2009 10:57 AM PDT

New report from MSNBC discusses how university scientists in Ohio have devised new technology which takes urine and turns it into cheap hydrogen fuel cells.

Yes! urine. Everything from cars, homes to electronic devices can be powered up using this new alternative source of energy. And in as early as six months.

Some examples of how urine power (a/k/a pee power) could be used:

“A fuel cell, urine-powered vehicle could theoretically travel 90 miles per gallon”.

“The waste products from say a chicken farm could be used to produce the energy needed to run the farm,” said John Stickney, a chemist and professor at the University of Georgia.

“Soldiers in the field could carry their own fuel.”

Interesting development from the field of environmental science. We’ll see when and how this develops. Will keep you posted as always.

The iPhone or the iPod Touch is a useful tool in pumping up your adrenaline when it comes to fitness and routine exercises. Or in some cases, it can be a great gadget simply for audio entertainment. But one thing that people look for are accessories that make it easier to situate in their bodies aside from pockets when available. And the ArmPocket Sport 20 looks like a keen invention for that.

Not only that, it upholds the tradition of eco-friendliness of the ArmPocket company. For the product itself, the ArmPocket Sport 20 is made from PET fabric or yarn made from plastic bottles and natural bamboo which give it a natural weave and solid feel. Add the concept on how to relocate it along your body and you get a great iPhone holder for only $29.95.

It is a quality product that should give you many years of wear and tear protection. Coupled with the company's green and recycling efforts it makes you a smarter consumer as well.
